Ever stumbled back to a hotel room only to realize your roommates have already gone to bed and locked the chain lock on the door? When no amount of knocking can get you in you can release that chain lock with a piece of string or floss.

You need about three feet of string for this to work. Start by looping one end of the string and then open the door as much as you can. Loop the string around the chain with your fingers. Pull the other end of the string over the top of the door frame, and unlock the door. You can also use the previously mentioned rubber band method or if it's a barlock you can use an envelope. As always, this isn't about breaking into someone else's room, but a good way to get into your own when you're locked out.
